Open;
Who: Nanako and EVERYONE!
When: Early March
Where: The BRAND NEW Shelter of Nanshe in the Central District
What: Nanako's Temple has moved and gotten a makeover! So this seems the perfect time to have a party and also to watch the blooming cherry blossoms!
[ Nanako's Temple had moved once before, so that in itself wasn't all that surprising, especially after almost an entire year here now. But she hadn't been expecting the Temple to change completely, adding more rooms and more of a homier vibe than the shrine had had before. Parts of it reminded her a little more of what her big brother's temple had felt like when he'd been here, and she's grateful for that, although she's a little worried because there seems to be so many rooms that she keeps finding in so many nooks and crannies. Maybe her temple just goes on forever now?
Either way, the move timed as it is seems like the perfect excuse to throw a big picnic outdoors on the grounds around her temple, which seems perfectly suited to host a large number of her friends over at any given time. And with her temple surrounded by cherry trees, their blossoms full and colorful right now, it makes the setting an inviting little corner to sit an mingle for a while.
The day before, every single temple in the Heavens would have found a carefully-crafted invitation on their doorstep, the words carefully written out in a childish hand, inviting them to a Cherry Blossom Viewing at Nanshe's Shelter. There's even a carefully drawn little map on the back to show them where to go, since Nanako doesn't want anyone getting lost on their way to the new location.
There are blankets laid out in the grass beneath the trees and on the wood and stone patios are little tables and chairs clustered together invitingly. There is food set out on a stretching buffet, the platters somehow never seeming to run low on food. There are decorations strung up along the outside of the temple and around the trees in pink and creams, although some of them certainly look to have been made or put up by decidedly childish hands.
As for the goddess herself, she flits about the party with a bright smile, happy to see everyone who shows up and making sure her friends are having fun, or maybe introducing herself to anyone she hasn't met yet. ]

[Hopefully, though, that simply means he'll be waiting for her to come home...]
I'll have to keep her in mind for any group activities in the future, but it does look an awful lot like there are plenty of people around who are more than happy to help keep her company. [If the turn out for the party is any indication, anyway.] She seems like a very sweet and well loved girl.

We can only hope it stays that way, for her sake. Anyway, thanks for keeping her in mind, Yuna. It means a lot to me.
[ She'll give her friend a sideways shoulder-hug and touch their heads together fondly. ]
Speaking of group activities, we should be having fun today, shouldn't we?

The contact is met and reciprocated with no hesitation, a small comfort for the both of them to shake them out of these heavy thoughts.] I hope so, too. [But, enough dwelling on that, they're there to have a fun time!] Of course! Since she put all of this together for everyone to enjoy, it would be a waste not to take advantage of it all, right? Let's grab something to eat and check out the sights.
Wrap <3
[ And she takes her friend by the arm at the elbow to lead them both towards the rest of the party by way of the snacks area. ]
